As I Lay Dying
About this book
How many voices does grief have?
First published in 1930, As I Lay Dying is one of William Faulkner's most daring and unforgettable novels. Told through the shifting perspectives of the Bundren family and those around them, the story follows a harrowing journey to fulfill a dying woman's last wish—to be buried in her hometown.
As the family travels across a flood-ravaged landscape, each voice reveals private desires, fears, resentments, and moments of stark humanity. Faulkner's innovative use of stream-of-consciousness narration transforms a simple plot into a profound exploration of love, duty, suffering, and endurance.
Darkly comic, deeply tragic, and relentlessly human, the novel captures the raw inner lives of ordinary people confronting death and meaning.
